About this map

The Fox River forms a dense industrial and residential corridor across this mid-1970s survey of Outagamie County. The clustered settlements of Kaukauna, Little Chute, Combined Locks, and Kimberly follow the river's path, marked by extensive locks and canals that supported the region's historic paper-making and milling economy. This period of growth is evident in the purple-tinted urban expansions, particularly around the northern edges of Appleton and the township of Vandenbroek.

Education and faith serve as primary anchors for these communities, with a high concentration of parochial institutions such as St. Peters School, St. Mary's School, and St. Aloysius School scattered throughout the river towns. Away from the water, the landscape shifts toward agricultural use, defined by a grid of named roads like Golden Glow Road and Coonen Road, occasionally interrupted by natural features like Apple Creek and local recreation sites such as Camp Winnecomac.
